Song Lyrics

Now sometimes sir i don t feel well, they can t be blamed, god bless you sir
and since i m pushing all the time
And then i m slow and then i m scared, and so the mirror tells me why, it isn t ladylike but sir
i say my prayers but what s the use
God save my soul, i hurry coves to earn my pay Unthanks, my head it aches
My head it aches, 100 years or more will pass, for if i m slow
Great big muscles on my legs, i praise you good intentions sir The, all the lads they laugh at me

I ve got to hurry best i can, god bless you sir
I ve got to hurry best i can, their families will starve you see, it isn t ladylike but sir
god bless you sir
baldy patch upon my head
Great big muscles on my legs, i praise you good intentions sir, and so my hair gets worn away
Now sometimes sir i don t feel well, i ve great big muscles on my legs Testimony, i hurry coves to earn my pay
it s good of you to ask me sir

Oh no not me, my head it aches
my stomach s sick
All the lads they laugh at me, i ve got to hurry best i can
my head it aches
And so my hair gets worn away, well in the coal black tunnel sir
I praise you good intentions sir, baldy patch upon my head
But now it s 1842, you ve got to earn you daily bread

Not even god and sense me shame, i say my prayers but what s the use, can t look nice
But mine are full of cuts and segs ?, my stomach s sick
you see this baldy patch i ve got
I push them with my hands and head, my stomach s sick Kershaw, i ve got to hurry best i can
